The strangest download mirror

Posted August 23, 2004 – 11:25 pm by Yakov Shafranovich in Linux, Technology

While poking around Apache’s website today, I ran across what may be the strangest file download mirror so far. It is located at mirrors.playboy.com and mirrors Apache, Fedora, FreeBSD and Perl’s CPAN. The page says:
This is an unsupported open source mirror utilizing hardware and network bandwidth generously provided by Playboy Enterprises, Inc. This server is located in Chicago, IL, USA.

Apparently this specific industry is rather fond of open source. Who knew?
